What Is Women’s Pelvic Health?

An area of physiotherapy that is often neglected is women’s pelvic health, but at Healing Haven Physiotherapy we are dedicated to changing this with our women’s pelvic health services.

So what is it? Women’s Pelvic Health Physiotherapy is an assessment and treatment of the pelvic floor. Pelvic floor dysfunction refers to a wide range of symptoms that can occur when the pelvic floor muscles are weak, too tight, or when the bones in the pelvic region are not moving properly. 

Risk factors for pelvic floor dysfunction include childbirth and pregnancy, hormonal changes such as menopause, excessive and repetitive heavy lifting, straining to empty the bowel and/or bladder, and pelvic surgeries.

Pelvic Floor Dysfunction Symptoms Include:

• Inability to prevent bowel and/or bladder leakage
• Constipation
• Genital pain
• Urgency (a strong urge to urinate or defecate that is difficult to control)
• Pain with sexual intercourse
• Pelvic organ prolapse
• Chronic lower back/sacroiliac joint pain



With physiotherapy that focuses specifically on the pelvic floor, we can help prevent, reverse, and lessen these symptoms. To experience the best pelvic floor physiotherapy in Edmonton contact us at Healing Haven Physiotherapy today.

What Does Pelvic Floor Therapy Entail?

When you come in for an assessment of your pelvic floor, you will work with a pelvic health physiotherapist who is trained to evaluate your pelvic floor function. To ensure your privacy, the assessment and subsequent treatments are always held in a private treatment room.

After the physical examination, education on findings and a proposed treatment plan tailored to your specific needs and goals are discussed.

If you have any symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction, as the top physiotherapists in Edmonton, AB, we can help reduce pain and improve your quality of life.
